Single Board Computer Products Speed Proof-of-Concept Designs, Seamlessly
Drop Into Production Systems, Streamlining Time-to-Market and Slashing BOM
Costs
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
CONFERENCE -- Zilog, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZILG) a leading supplier of 8-, 16- and
32-bit embedded Flash microcontrollers, universal remote control and ARM(R)
core-based solutions today announced its innovative new Zdots(TM) modules.
These single-board computer (SBC) solutions enable rapid development and
deployment of embedded systems. The peripheral-rich Zdots(TM) SBC
streamlines embedded application development for a multitude of
applications that include industrial control, IrDA connectivity,
communication, security, automation, secure transactions, and embedded
networking applications.
The Zdots(TM) module solution cuts time to market and BOM costs by
providing a flexible, robust foundation that serves as the ideal platform
for products designed using Zilog's extensive catalog of ASSPs, flash MCUs,
and universal remote control solutions.
"This is rocket fuel for design engineers," stated Keith Bladen, vice
president of marketing, Zilog. "We have tried to stay focused on helping
embedded design engineers and their companies get better products to market
faster than their competitors. "Time and time again, however, we've heard
our customers tell us that fast isn't fast enough. They have to launch
products almost overnight -- at the lowest possible BOM cost. So we created
the Zdots(TM) SBC solution. It's rocket fuel for today's embedded design
applications."
The Zdots(TM) SBC rapid embedded application development solution is
available today for the eZ80AcclaimPlus!(TM) family of ASSP's. The
high-performance connectivity ASSP provides design engineers with 16-bit
performance in an 8-bit footprint. In addition, Zilog has developed an
extensive roadmap of Zdots(TM) modules for targeted applications. The
company plans to roll out new Zdots(TM) solutions with its other product
families starting in the second quarter of 2008.
"Our customers rely on us for complete solutions," said Michelle Leyden
Li, Zilog's director of worldwide product marketing, Zilog. "What's so
powerful about the Zdots(TM) solution is that a developer can quickly
create a proof-of-concept prototype, refine it, and then drop the finished
design into a production system. With the Zdots(TM) solution, when you're
done with design, you have the working product."
